Mot long ago tbe Sophomore Clara in a
New Jersey college concluded to serenade
a friend iu grand style. They hired a brass
band, got up banners and transparencies,
and arranged lor a large procession. The
Junior class heard of the preparations, and
said, " The Sophomore boys are putting on
too many airs," and forthwith proceeded to
organize for a grand parade on the itanie
occasion. But they did not employ a
brass band. They gathered tin pins, blow
horns, and drums, and each member was
provided with some instrument on which to
make a noise. The Sophomores o( course
were kept in a blissful state of ignorance as
to tbe preparations of the Juniors. The
evening tor tbe parade arrived. The Soph
omores formed under the inspiring strains
of sweet music, and the glare of torches
and fancy lanterns, and under the command
of marshals on spirited horses. It was a
proud hour for thum. At the word of com
mand they moved off on the line of mrch.
A abort distance from the College a second
proceion had been quietly forming in a
street that ran off at a right angle from tbe
one on which the Sophuicores formed. It
was the procession ol tbe Juniors. There
they stood, quietly awaiting the approach
of their friends, the gay, airy, festive Soph
omores, and as the bead of the bind of the
latter came opposite the bead of the Junior
class, tbe Juniors all began to ponnd on
tbeir tin puis, blow on their burns, and
drum, which created such a noise as caused
the glass in the windows of houses to vi
brate, and w hen the Sophomores had parsed
with their daztling procession, the Juniors
fell in behind w ith their ludicrous and awk-wardly-tuatvliing
column, and thundering
din and clatter.
Very much such a scene took place 111
Mifflintown last Thursday evening. Citizens
of Pat'ersor. purchased a complete outfit
for a fire hook and Udder company. It is a
credit to the men who first moved iu the
matter, and a credit to those who aid I'd in
paying for it- A complete orgamx ition for
the management ol the apparatus has been
effected, and it was a laudable amdilion that
(he organization entertained when they pro
posed to march through tbe streets and show
the citizens what their contribution bad
been used in purchasing. Last Thursday
evening was decidedon as the time in which
to iudulge iu a street parade. The brass
band was engaged to head the procession.
All the arrangement!, became known to the
boil of Milllibtown, and they wwt like the
Junior boys of ths New Jersey celh-ge.
They admired the ente"-pri-ie of the Patter
son people ; they admired their apparatus,
but as they were not in for the g--iid pa
rade they concluded to have one of their
own on the heels of the Patterson people.
They went into a course of preparatiou for
a parade to follow the hook ai d ladder
boys." They hauled the oid Mullintown
engine down into the alley that runs he
lm etn Water and Main streets. Tttey got
old cam 'ge wheels and coupled them to
gether, by laying long ladders from axle
tree to' axle-tree, and hung lanterns and
buckets around on the ladders, and then
formed in procession in the alley mentioned,.
to await the coming of the Patterson people.
A number of them had noras of different
tone. All was quiet till the Potterson com
pany came ahead of the alley, when a shout
greeted them there. The Mifflintown boys
moved in behind the brethren from across
the river. They blew their horns and kept
up a clangor that threw a perfect toue of
discord into the sweet music of the band
that headed the book and ladder" com
pany. And in that way, with line music
and horrid din and shout, the streets on both
aides of the river were paraded. At a cer
tain point in Ptt--5on a crowd made a rush
at the impromptu hook and ladder appara
tus of the MiBlintown people, but a s juad
from the engiue ran back and saved the ap
paratus from dismemberment. No unplea
aunt incidents grew out of the procession.
Ever body was profuse in admiratiou of the
Patterson hook and ladder apparatus.
A SINGULAR EXPERIENCE.
Some days ago a citizen of Walker town
ship, well on the way of bachelordom, went
out to plow iu one of his fields. lie plowed
along a strip of woodland, and al ter a w bile
be halted his team for a rest. Being quite
a philosopher, he turned ttimaelf with his
back to the tea.n and also rested by leaning
against the stretchers between the plow
taudles. The world had never deal; "harsh
ly with hiin. He has had much sunshine
and few clouds in bis life. He was withiu
easy call of his paternal home, and, inspired
by his comfortable surroundings, he fell into
soliloquy, something like this : "This is a
delightful day ; it is worth living in. I have
come well on the journey of life. Thirty
odd years are past. I am near the old age
of youth, which is forty years, and, by the
fathers, I should be mated to aome one or
the gentler sex. Who shall it be ? Ah !
what a great question. I can keep a wire,
certaiDly. It is not anything to keep a wile
these days. When the Indians were about
these parts it was something to get mar
ried, and locate in tbe woods. There was
no telling then, at what hour a party of red
kins might rush out of the woods and take
a man's life and leave his wife in widow
hood. It is terrible to think about. It al
most makes me feel as if some dark and
mysterious visitors may be lurking near."
The soliloquy of the bachelor waa aud
denly broken by the horses giving a loud
snort. Our friend turned about face, and
ahouted, "Whoa! whoa!" There are no
Indians about these parts, but to his utter
amazement five maskul figures in long
gowns were rapidly approaching. The 85
rtres circled around him a number of times,
meanwhile looked on in mute astonishment.
But by tbe time they had surrounded him
completely he had sufficiently recovered
himself to ask, "What does all this mean T
Spirits of good or evil, why are yon here f
What have I done that yon should appear
before me iu disguise ?" A faint laugh
escaped one of the figures, and his quick
ear told him that it waa no man's laugh.
"Ladies, by Jove !" he cried, and ran to
catch a mask. But his hand was unsteady ;
he missed the mask, and the five fignrei
hurried away, saying, " Good day, Harry ;
this is a leap-year party." And now he
calls it a "singular experience."

The management of the fruit farm at
Tbompsontown concluded to burn the rub
bish on a clearing last Saturday. The wind
was high at the time, bat it was believed
that a sufficient Lumber of men had been
stationed around to guard and keep in the
fire. That, however, was a mistake, as the
wind carried burning leaves over their heads
into the woods, setting it on fire. A most
desperate struggle took place to get the fire
outcned in the woods, which was success
ful, but not until after four hundred cords
of wood had been destroyed.
The Altoona Tribune relates the follow
ing: William Evans, who farms part of
Low's island, has invented a very aimple
trap to capture the muskrats that forage on
bis early vegetables. His plan is to sink a
water-light barrel in the grouud into which
he drops a bead of cabbage. The musky
rodents soon discover their favorite food,
and do toot hesitate to go for it ; but when
once in they are unable to get out. In one
night Mr. Evans captured nine of tbe var
mints. After tbey are exterminated tbe
barrel comes handy to fill with water for nse
in transplanting or in dry weather.
The Harrisburg Patriot on Saturday pub
lished te following : Tbe rail mill of the
Pennsylvania steei company produced on
Thursday night in less than twelve hours
:'6 finished steel rails, of the aggregate
length of 5 miles 552 yards, and weighing
20ft tons. This remarkable product was
turned out by the night shift of men work
ing under the direction of William Hellier,
boss roller. Tbe day shift bad previously
turned out 882 rails, which is believed to
surpass the product of any other mill, but
the production of 836 rails certainly gives
tbe banner to this mill. The average time
to roll each rail, for the entire twelve hours,
is but 46 seconds per rail.
In Oliver township, Miiilin county, by tbe
side of an old deserted house, not far from
McVeytown, some freshly-turned ground
was discovered. Investigation followed,
when a hole about tire feet deep and about
as long as tbe grave of an adult was re
vealed, but there was nothing in it ; and
that reminds people of Mifflintown of a
local excitement of a few years ago, when
a newly-made hole, nicely covered up, un
der a wheat shock, was discovered in a field
of Squire Jacobs, near this town. It was a
great mystery for quite a while ; however,
it at last " leaked out," that once upon a
lime, a superstitious person crossed the
field of the Squire after night-fall, and see
ing some fiery object at a certain place he
became greatly alarmed. When be reached
home he had recourse to other people who
professed to read such wonders, and waa
told that where the light appeared a large
quantity of money lay buried. As he had
no ebjection to obtaining money honestly,
he and a number of frunds went into the
field of the Squire, one night after the wheat
in the field waa cnt, and dug a hole in the
ground for the money. Bow much money
tliey got is not told. And that is bow, and
why tbe bole was dug in the field of Squire
Jacobs. To conceal tbe evidence of their
work aa long aa possible, the money-seekers
filled up the hole and put a shock of wheat
over it. Has the McVeytown mystery such
a history
A number of the members of the Ptst of
the (i. A. S. of this place went to Lewis
town to witness tbe organization of a Post
there last Friday night. They organized
with forty-one members, certainly a most
auspicious beginning. The Comrades from
this place who attended upon tho organiza
tion at Lew is town were, L. E. Atkinson,
J. W. Hughes, W. H. Rodgers, K. W. H.
Kreider, f 1 D. Gartnan, J. S. Martin, 6. B.
Caveny, J. K. Stump, W. H. Egolf.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of the 7th
inst., says : Alderman Fager had bis 'Men
tion called to the circulation of counterfeit
trade dollars yesterday by a parly who bad
received one of tbe spurious coin from a
trucker who had evidently been imposed
upon in turn by some one whom be could
not name, and be at once redeemed it.
There is no doubt that counterfeit coin is
being "shoved" in all parts of the State,
and that we have a full share of it in this
locality. Tbe counterfeit trade dollar of
which we now speak is one of tbe worst at1
tempts in that line of knavery we have ever
seen, a failure alike in construction and
composition, which needs only to be seen
to be detected.
To satisfy conscience the Catholic devo
tee has ever been ready to subject himself
to great personal discomfort. The latest
public illustration of doing "cruel penance,"
is made mention of by the Newport LeJgef
of last week, as follows :
"On Friday last Thomas F. Kelley, an
Irish Catholic, started in bis bare feet to
walk from Philadelphia to the monastery at
Loretto, Cambria county, Pa. His sins had
been many, he said, on account of which
he Was "doing penance" in his walk. He
was not begging his wsy either, but claimed
to have given to the poor $700 and all this
world's goods be owned even to tbe shoes
he wore, prior to beginning the painful jour
ney. He carried a letter signed by David
A. Brennan, Secretary and Chancellor of
the archdiocese of Philadelphia, witnessing
the character of its bearer. lie reached
Newport ou Wednesday evening, the 7lh
inst , footsorebnt satisfied that he was in
tbe right, and uncomplainingly. His feet
were badly swollen, but they were worse,
he said, tbe day before. He was a pleasant-
faced, booest-looking man, with sincerity
written on every lineament of his counte
nance, and gave his age as 34. no had
come from Harrisburg since morning. lie
was provided with lodging at the Ganlt
House, whete he refused breakfast the next
morning, and afterward started on his jour
ney westward. . To use bis own language,
if be perseveres, he will spend the remain -der
of bis day in the abbey for which he is
bound, if be doesn't sacrifice himself before
arriving there."
The above-mentioned Thomas F. Kelley
remained one night in this town, staying
with Jacob Thoiuas, and as all devout Cath
olics do, at time of worship in the evening,
he counted his beads, lie was not, how.
ever, barefooted ; he wore a pair of old
gum sbocs, a his feet had become too much
bruised and swollen to allow him to pro
ceed further ou his journey barefooted.
CARD ETIQUETTE.
The card should be written or printed,
unless your mine happens to be Blauk,
when a blank card would not be inappropri
ate. It might, however, mike the ladies to
whom you tend it look Blank in the face.
White cards are considered in the b-st
taste. In the best colored society this rule
need not be strictly adhered to.
The gentleman's card should contain
nothing except the name and address of tbe
caller. But it is allowable to omit the ad
dress, which save embarrassment if the
gentleman is temporarily stopping at the
work-house.
The titles of "Hon." "Mr." "Esq.," etc.,
are not allowed on calling cards, but if a
member of Congress is your opponent in
poker, yhu may "call" the honorable gen
tleman and see w hat cards he holds.
At a hotel, w ben calling on any one, send
your card and awail a reply iu the reception
room. It is not considered the correct
thing in polite society to visit the bar more
than twice while waiting.
If two or more ladies are in the house
hold, tbe turning down of a corner signifies
that the card is for all the ladies. Going
around a corner immediately alter tbe inter
view signifies that you want to see a man.
Cards may be left immediately where a
death is known, particularly if you are an
undertaker; but a call of sympathy and
condolence is not to be niado until a week
after the bereavement, when it is allowable
to present the bid, which is all the good it
does, frequently.
In leaving the city for a permaneet resi
dence abroad, it is customary to send out
cards to intimate friends, adding to the
name " P. P. C." Presents Parting Com
pliments. It is also a delicate reminder
that you have secured a berth in a Pullman
Palace Car.
